[libreoffice-users] mimetype=text/csv opened in writer

[Kamil Jońca]

I have strange problem since about two days.
I have to open a lot of csv files from WWW (with firefox) , these files going 
with
mimetype=text/csv about two days they started in writer instead in
calc.
I change nothing (at least intentionally ) but I may click something
accidentally.
What to check? firefox options? libreoffice options?

Re: [libreoffice-users] OS hangs while visiting a LO wiki page

What is important here, is whether just the browser hangs or the whole
operating system (Windows) hangs.
If you can switch to other programs with Alt-Tab, then it is just a browser
that got stuck and somewhat less severe in a security sense.

When a web page can make a computer hang, then it is quite valuable to
security researchers
to identify and isolate the HTML code that causes this result.
In security terms, this is called a Denial of Service (DOS).
If the real underlying cause is something called a "memory corruption",
then it might be possible for attackers to adjust the HTML code
so that they can infect a computer. If someone can do the analysis,
then they pay money for those things in the security industry
(for example, https://www.google.gr/about/appsecurity/chrome-rewards/).

From your description below, it is more likely related to Avast (since both
Firefox and IE are affected).
To narrow down, you can disable Avast and try to visit the page again.
If your computer hangs even with Avast disabled, then please share that
with us ;-).

If your computer is OK with Avast disabled, then obviously the problem is
with Avast.
Avast has a "bug bounty" program and they pay at least $400 when you report
them bugs.
See more at https://www.avast.com/bug-bounty

I'm afraid not.
New facts: some local csv files are opened by writer also. I don't know
why.
Are there any rules which decide "this csv is to open with writer, and
that by calc?"

​On what OS ?​
At least on Windows and most Linux, it' the OS that decide what application
is used to open a file. On Linux it's mostly driven by mime types, while on
Windows the filename extension play a major role.
As far as I know, after installation, LibreOffice will not register itself
to handle different file types.
​For example, on one of my installation (Debian Linux with KDE), the
text/csv file type is associated with, in that order, LOCalc​, some basic
text editors, LOWriter, some file viewers. LibreOffice have no saying in
this.

​To help, it would be useful to know more about your system, and if you did
install/uninstall software recently that might have caused this behavior.
In any case, the fix most likely lies in the system configuration.​

I have had an issue a few days ago with Win10/home.  For some reason, I 
lost Writer's association with the .doc files.  This may be somewhat 
related to the file association issue you have experienced, but in 
reverse.  I think it might have been a Win10 issue, instead of LO's 
problem.  I have not seen that issue with Ubuntu-based Linux for many years.


When we install LO, we are asked if we want to associate the MS Office 
formats with LO, but for some reason it got changed.  Then LO "tells" 
the OS it "wants" to be associated with those file/mime types.  IF a 
different package/app seems to want to be associated to the lost file 
type, as far as the OS is concerned, then it may be changed without your 
knowledge and/or permission.


I know that Win10 "sometimes forgets" that I associate .jpg files to 
GIMP as its default app over their internal app or associate them to the 
Corel Paint Shop Pro version I have installed.  I have lost that 
.jpg/GIMP association several times in the past month or so.  Last week 
was the first time I lost the .doc/LO association.  Of course, when that 
happens, I have found that Win10 sometimes does not show GIMP or LO in 
the list of possible packages that could be associated with the file 
type association that was lost. It took a lot of effort/work, the last 
time I had to re-associate .jpg with GIMP.

[libreoffice-users] [LibreOffice 5.0.1.2] How to export a single file from a PPT file?

[Gilles]

Hello

I'm using LibreOffice 5.0.1.2 to open a PowerPoint file using LO's Impress.

I can successfully export all the slides in one go through File > Export as
images, but can't find how to export a given slide.

I searched through the File menu, through the "Export as images" dialog, by
right-clicking on the slide, all to no avail.

Google didn't help either.

Is there really no way to export just a single slide?

Thank you.

I understand. So now question is why some CSV files are open by calc,
while the others by Writer.

Nothing were installed recently, but I could change something
accidentally.

​If you have the xdg-mime command installed​, could you test the offending
files with it using "xdg-mime query filetype "?
As CSV files have little to nothing to identify them beside the file
extension, it is possible that some character sequences trick the system
and associate them with something else.

Not from a multiple slide presentation, however:

- you can print a single slide to file (as noted)
- you can select all object(s) on the slide and export them to any format
(but you'll lose other slide template details),
- you can simply copy the slide and paste into a new Impress presentation. 

With copy/paste (rather than export you seek) most slide formatting will
come across in the paste, and once in a single slide--reformat/clean and
export to file format needed.

[libreoffice-users] [LibreOffice 5.0.1.2] How to play an animated slide?

[Gilles]

Hello

I have another Impress-related question to which I (obviously) found no
answer.

Some of the slides are animated, but Impress only shows the first part. I
notice that those slides an little icon on the left…
http://s12.postimg.org/r5u63t771/Libre_Office_Impress_play_animated_slide.png
… but I found no item in the menu that offered a way to split an animated
slide into its different steps.

Is there a way, at least, to see the different steps on an animated slide?

Thank you.

Thanks guys. Copy/paste into Paintshop Pro did the trick, although it'd make

[Gilles]

As a work-around, I installed MS' free PowerPoint Viewer, and copy/pasted
screenshots into (again) Paintshop Pro because PPV's "Copy slide" function
doesn't copy screenshots in a format that PSP couldn't understand.

Still, I wish Impress could read PowerPoint animated slides, at least show
the final output.

Glad you got it sorted, but why into Paintshop Pro. Would make more sense
from LO projects perspective to copy/paste with our internal formats into
Draw--and export graphics from there.

So perhaps enhancements to Impress Slide sorter/preview frame adding:

  a .uno: action to "Copy slide to new Impress presentation"

and

  a .uno: action to "Copy slide to new Draw page"

But yes, it'd make more sense to paste it into LO's alternative.

Hello Users of LibreOffice,

 Once in a while I visit the Release Plan wiki page,

   From that wiki page, I recently tried to visit the "5.0.2" -> "RC1"

 I am using Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit, with Internet Explorer 9

 The strange behavior happened with both web browsers.

 I don't know whether some security tool being in use (e.g. Avast)
 might be relevant.

 I wanted to share this unusual experience, in case someone else
 happens to see it too (or something similar, or at least uncommon),
 and/or maybe it might be worth someone checking the source of these
 wiki pages (and their related nested templates).

 I am aware that this behavior (hanging OS) would be considered
 "unlikely to be triggered by some wiki page". The fact that it
 happened to me more than once while following the same links (but
 nowhere else) pushed me to at least comment on it.

For me the whole OS completely hangs and I have to kill the power (press 
and hold power button for a few seconds). Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing, 
mouse pointer doesn't move, and num lock / caps lock don't respond (they 
often at least toggle the keyboard lights even if nothing else responds; 
in this case even that stops responding).


I haven't got around to investigating thoroughly, but things I have 
tried include:
- Just leaving it for over half an hour to see if it would start 
responding again; it didn't.
- Checking event logs; there's nothing obviously relevant, except the 
expected complaints during the next startup related to not having been 
shut down properly.
- Keeping Task Manager / Sysinternals Process Explorer open before it 
hangs, but there's no obvious peak in processor or memory usage, or any 
particular process's activity - but they might just not get a chance to 
update the display when it does hang.
- Some of the memory and CPU load tests from www.ultimatebootcd.com, but 
they didn't reveal anything and didn't hang.


Can't actually remember whether I checked the disk for errors, I think I 
did but may be worth doing again.

The common thing with Ady is that you both have the Avast Antivirus. An
antivirus runs as a "system service" on Windows,
and if something goes terribly wrong in the system service, then the whole
operating system may misbehave.
Since you do not have yet a set of steps to reproduce the problem, it is
extremely difficult to figure out the issue.

Not from a multiple slide presentation, however:

- you can print a single slide to file (as noted)
- you can select all object(s) on the slide and export them to any format
(but you'll lose other slide template details),
- you can simply copy the slide and paste into a new Impress presentation.

With copy/paste (rather than export you seek) most slide formatting will
come across in the paste, and once in a single slide--reformat/clean and
export to file format needed.

Hello

I have another Impress-related question to which I (obviously) found no

Some of the slides are animated, but Impress only shows the first part. I
notice that those slides an little icon on the left…
http://s12.postimg.org/r5u63t771/Libre_Office_Impress_play_animated_slide.png

Is there a way, at least, to see the different steps on an animated slide?

Thank you.

[libreoffice-users] Libra Office on a Mac Mini (compared to Ms Office or default installed iWorks Apps)

[Robert Watt]

Hi,

I have never used Libre Office before, or any ‘Office’ type software, other 
than Microsoft Office 2000, 2003, 2007 and 2010, and all on Windows pc's. 

I am now (as of Sept 2015) an OU student and am of limited means, so The 'Open 
University Computing Helpdesk’ advised me that I could try Libre Office  - as 
it is free and will ‘do’ whatever Microsoft Office is capable of ‘doing’ in 
respect of what I NEED it to be capable of ‘doing’, in order to create any and 
all documents, essays, assignments, projects, etc for my B.A.(Hon’s) History 
degree course.

Is it the case that Libre Office is as 'feature packed' as Ms Office, or are 
there some important features that will be missing from Libre Office when 
compared to Ms Office?

I ask this because the above help desk said that Libre Office is a good 
alternative to both MS Office (due to the price differential), and also 
‘better' than the default ‘Apple iWorks’ apps, because Pages in particular does 
not allow ‘comments’ to be added to submitted documents, i.e if I submitted an 
assignment to a tutor written in Pages then if he marked it and added some 
comments, before returning it, that I would not see those comments because they 
can’t be added in the first place. I have no idea what else the 'iWorks Apps’ 
are also NOT capable of doing when compared to Ms Office or Libre Office, and 
even if any of these ‘missing’ features are even important anyway.

I mention ‘Apple iWorks’ apps because the computer I will be using for OU study 
is a Mac Mini, which has Pages, Numbers and Keynote installed by default.

Taking the above in account, which ‘version’ of Libre Office is compatible  
with the latest version of Mac OSX (my Mac Mini is at v’10.10.5 Yosemite).

Thanks

Rob

[libreoffice-users] Base to open selected form revisited

[Bill.Baggins]

I am having some problems.  I receive this message when attempting to execute
the macro from Nov 04, 2014; 4:33am
[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Setting Base to open with a slected form  

Spelling in context from original message.


I have deleted the comma and then receive an error message that BASIC was
expecting to find a comma symbol.  I have tried alternatively to delete the
space between ObjName and False and to insert a comma between them with no
spaces ObjNameFALSE.  I receive the same errors.

Any ideas?
